Question for GOFASTER

When you sprayed your taillights, did you just mask off your paint, or did you take the taillight lens off the car? Got the spray and trying to figure out the easiest way to do this Thanks

Josh, first let me say nice car I like the stripes, kinda like my car, but my stripes are real fat, looks good!

Second, to answer your question, I did mask off my tail lights with newspaper. It took me 10 mins to mask off, another 15 to spray it. Much faster than removing your tail lights. I was going to do it that way, but way faster to mask it of really quick. Make sure your lights are clean, and go to town.

GOOD LUCK!

Cool man, thanks for the info. Did you let it dry for a full 6 hours like it says to do? Ill probably just wait till this weekend so i can let it dry the full amount. How visible is the light through it?

I let it sit in the Texas sun for the rest of the day after painting it. It dries realy quick. It is really visiable at night, just light stock, only in the light it looks like a black out. By far the best way to go. Cheep, looks good, and your lights still work better than ever.
